I keep accurate inventory when I'm not loading facilities, use it as a guideline when I am ... still tells me what I need to plant next. No macros, just simple math calculations.
the part about knowing what's needed belt to belt is another matter and I'm with you on that too ... would be nice to know those things ahead of time.
as for the tedious part of the facilities, tools etc ... on my last revamp, I sold all my service facilities (don't like them, won't buy more, don't need the extra coins they produce) ... and put facilities in storage that don't have to do with food (with few exceptions). For me, it's made things more simple and if we get Farm #12, I'll put those non-food facilities back out, maybe. In the meantime, my farm duties are simplified so I can truly enjoy the time when I'm playing farmer. I love it ... doesn't feel like a "job" ... I have control, it's not controlling my life, so I really enjoy it. Right now I'm just in a "growing" mode ... h/p crops and build my reserves. Gotta love the game for allowing us to do our own thing.

ps ... I've come to LOVE the Red Sprinkler too. It's great trying to plan my next few crops around "over night" time and daytime when I might need to cut the harvest time in half. Like a puzzle working it all in around the 20 hrs, cut to 10 and then using the 8 & 12 hr crops to fill in, etc. Great fun!!!
